How do THC edibles compare to other cannabis consumption methods?

Because they’re digested, THC edibles are metabolized differently than other cannabis consumption methods, like smoking or sublingual use. That means effect onset is much slower—anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours—but they also last much longer. In the liver, THC is converted to a stronger compound (11-hydroxy-THC) that creates a stronger, more intense high. That’s why it’s so important to start with a low dose and go slow to gauge effects.
